Some of my photos.

[phaqgm]

I currently shoot with a Canon 40D. My lenses include 17-85 f/4-5.6 , 70-300 f/4-5.6, and a 50mm f/1.8.



These are all pretty old, as I haven't used my camera for quite some time now.

This shot was taken with a 35mm.

Another one using 35mm. This was in West Glacier park in Montana.

20D with the same crappy lens mentioned above. I saw this little guy one day while I was at work, so I decided to take a picture of him.

^that's pretty neat. is it a homemade softbox?

[J-Easy]

love the shots from your 20D

[psycho_clown3]

that bike one is pretty cool, I though it was a real one for a short while :P

[phaqgm]

^that's pretty neat. is it a homemade softbox?

Sort of. I used just a standard clamp on light with reflector, a 150 watt bulb, and held a paper towel in front of the bulb. The background was white poster board. I then bounced light from a white display board from the opposite side of the light source to soften the shadows, and provide more detail.


I miss my 20D, it was stolen out of my apartment a few years ago. I was without a camera for about 2 years, at which point I bought the 40D. Once the weather gets a little bit better out here, I plan on actually getting out and taking more photos again. I'll post up some when I have some shots that I feel like sharing.

[phaqgm]

I forgot about this one, this was taken from Kerry Park in Seattle around 8:00 or 9:00 pm with my 40D. I don't remember the camera settings at the moment, but I can post them up later if you care to know.

Thank you. That photo is on my wall at home as an 18x12 :D

What program did you use to read the EXIF data, that's pretty detailed.

NICE 18x12 im always a afraid to print something that big that I took I feel that I'll get bored of it lol


Well if you use Mozilla Firefox you could add an Add-On that is called EXIF ADD-ON
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3905
if that one does not work, it may be outdated but there are new versions of it you could get. Its pretty neat, just right click, select EXIF data and all that data is there :)
as long as they didnt block the exif data

That night cityscape is a great shot!

Thank you, I just hope to improve in other areas too. Since the weather is starting to get better around here, I'm getting out more to take photos of stuff. I also have a co-worker who does paid photo shoots on the side, so I am going to start observing, and when possible shoot with him to hopefully improve my shots.

[mrluilou]

that's cool! i wish i knew someone who i could tag along w/ :gap:

A couple of shots I took of some of my saltwater fish this weekend. I used a dedicated flash at a 45 degree angle with a stofen diffuser attached, and put the camera in full manual mode since the camera never meters properly when trying to take photos in an aquarium.

I know. I had two problems going for me. I was on a floating dock which moves, and I didn't have my tripod to close down the aperture. Oh well, you win some, you lose some.

Yep, got it about a month ago. Today was the first time that I used it though. Thank you, I liked the second one too! In the last photo, the sun was super harsh right in the middle. I don't really even know why I posted it... Except maybe I just wanted you to see what the place was like where I was shooting.

edit: I made some adjustments to the photo. It's quite a bit darker now, but at least it's not blown out. :)

[mrluilou]

hey that looks much better :thumbup:
i also got a ND filter for my tokina :gap: i can't wait to use it :drool:

[phaqgm]

You'll have fun with it. Those shots would've been impossible without the ND filter. I'm using a ND4 which I believe is a 2 stop filter, and I still had to close my aperture all the way down to f/22 at ISO 100 to make the water smooth. I actually want to get a darker ND filter now, so I don't have to stack.

While I agree, I don't think it would really help since what you're seeing in her fingernails is called striations, a side effect caused by the chemotherapy that she's on.
